Hair loss, during menopause after pregnancy (post partum)

Hormones and Hair Loss.

Did you know that Hair loss during post-pregnancy and menopause is a thing!

It can be attributed to hormonal changes and various factors, it,s distressing when you notice these changes in your hair.

  1.  Postpartum Hair Loss 

    • During pregnancy, hormonal changes cause a reduction in hair shedding, leading to thicker, fuller hair.
    • After childbirth, hormone levels shift dramatically, leading to a shedding phase, typically occurring around 2-4 months postpartum.
    • This temporary condition is called telogen effluvium, and it can result in noticeable hair loss, but it usually stabilizes within a few months.
    • Adequate nutrition, gentle hair care, and time can help restore hair to its pre-pregnancy state.
    • OiTO haircare is gentle on the lipid mantle, the ingredients cleanse gently with out agressors to add stress to the hair structure 
  2. Menopausal Hair Loss:

      • Menopause is a natural phase in a woman's life when Estrogen levels decrease significantly.
      • Estrogen plays a role in promoting hair growth, so its decline can lead to hair thinning and loss.
      • Another factor is the increased prevalence of androgen hormones, like testosterone, which can lead to androgenetic alopecia (female pattern baldness).
      • Age-related factors, genetics, and overall health also contribute to menopausal hair changes.
      • Treatments may include hormone replacement therapy (HRT) or medications to slow hair loss, but it's essential to consult a healthcare provider for guidance.
      • Oito Scalp Elixir adds hydration the hair bulb to replenish the hair strand, nuturing the roots to support new hair growth.

    In both cases, it's crucial to consult with a healthcare professional or dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and personalised treatment options, to address the underlying causes of hair loss.
